The Wolverine News & Discussion Thread - Part 1

[Matt Mortem]

Thank goodness for actual claws instead of those horribly shoddy CG ones from Origins. Yuck.

Definitely. I ****ing hated those claws in Origins.

 

[Hawkingbird]

Definitely. I ****ing hated those claws in Origins.

I think we can agree that everything in Origins sucked apart from the helicopter scene

 

[def28]

The intros awesome and I still really dig most the casting for that film. Sucks those actors and characters couldnt be in a decent X flick.

 

[Great Mind(s)]

Who was it that was complaining about his jacket. I love this jacket.

Me, it was me! I like the jacket in the first movies but it's been in EVERY movie! I mean, it's getting a bit much for me. He can wear other cool brown lumberjack-y jackets for a change!

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Hee I guess that's fair. He probably has a whole closet full of these though

 

[squeekness]

Gambit was completely awesome the whole time.

 

[MarvelKnight]

Eh, it all pretty much sucked, to me lol

 

[Human Torch]

Who was it that was complaining about his jacket. I love this jacket.

Me too.It's iconic.

 

[DJ Kornphlake]

I don't dislike the jacket, but I don't think we needed an origin scene for it like we got in (heh) Origins.

 

[Jacky]

(Sooo, after reading lots of off-topic discussion and some actual Wolverine news..)

Fact: I'm getting so excited for this movie.

In the live chat, Jackman and Mangold seem so passionate about this film. Plus, they say all the right things when it comes to the vibe they're trying to go for. Not too CGI, but a grounded movie with a good, dramatic and dark story.

The darker the better, as far as I'm concerned.

Which is why I was surprised to see some members here rooting for a PG-13 rating. I kind of understand the reasoning, but personally, I love Wolverine because he's not a 'good' guy even though he's a superhero. F.i. the rage is part of him, more than we've seen in the previous films.
Again, something that Jackman and Mangold seemed to agree on in the live chat.

Actually, does anyone know when we'll know the rating? Do we get to know when a trailer comes out, or possibly sooner?

 

[psylockolussus]

Gambit was completely awesome the whole time.

Gambit was one of the few things I liked about XOW and he didn't even appear in the movie that much.

 

[Great Mind(s)]

Honestly they can get away with violence in a PG-13 movie. They can have him kill people, is there a rule against this??

 

[Cagefighterkip]

Gambit was completely awesome the whole time.

Damn straight. Gambit needs his own movie....

 

[Great Mind(s)]

Eh I wouldn't want an entire Gambit movie. How about an X-film where he has the size of Rogue's role in X1?

 

[Cagefighterkip]

I suppose that is an appropriate compromise.

 

[lastairbender]

I think gambit was the best thing in Origins... full of charisma and loved the powers moves! I'm sure we wont see him again...which is sad...

 

[Hunter Rider]

so yeah, how bout them snowy pics with the ninjas and stuff, huh?

I'm really hoping we get a glimpse of that sequence in the trailer, I mean Wolverine vs Ninjas in the snow? oh yes!!

 

[BMM]

Agreed.

 

[Project862006]

Eh I wouldn't want an entire Gambit movie. How about an X-film where he has the size of Rogue's role in X1?

didn't Taylor want a thieves guild story line film

never read it but is it strong enough to hold movie just talking hypothetically cause movie is never gonna happen

 

[Whiskey Tango]

I'm really hoping we get a glimpse of that sequence in the trailer, I mean Wolverine vs Ninjas in the snow? oh yes!!

If we get a fight with Silver Samurai in a cherry blossom orchard we'll be set

 

[Moridin]

I'm very cautiously optimistic about this one. Mangold & Jackman said all the right things in the chat, but then Jackman said all the right things for XOW, too.

I think gambit was the best thing in Origins... full of charisma and loved the powers moves! I'm sure we wont see him again...which is sad...

I'd say Schriber was the best thing about XOW. I barely remember how they portrayed Gambit.

 

[squeekness]

Damn straight. Gambit needs his own movie....

I'd pay to go anytime.

Eh I wouldn't want an entire Gambit movie. How about an X-film where he has the size of Rogue's role in X1?

Only of Rogue wasn't in it, lol.

I think gambit was the best thing in Origins... full of charisma and loved the powers moves! I'm sure we wont see him again...which is sad...

Taylor said he'd come back and play him if he was asked. They could do the whole Thieves Guild immortality thing...

 

[Spider-Fan]

I'm waiting for footage on this film. Jackman was incredibly passionate in how he spoke about XO:W, and he was a producer on that and X3, which most fans perceive to be the worst of the bunch (though I personally don't think it is as bad as people think it is...XO:W was much, much, much worse).

I'd say Schriber was the best thing about XOW. I barely remember how they portrayed Gambit.

I think Reynolds, Schriber, Jackman, etc. could have been awesome in that movie if it was made under totally different circumstances. As is, I hate just about everything about XO:W...and I do mean everything. Script was bad, it was rushed, looked sloppy, etc. Nothing about that film came together at all, and I am really hoping for better with The Wolverine. But, given that last film they put out, I have to wait for footage and to learn more before I am interested. At this moment, this movie is fairly low on my radar. I am way more curious to see how DoFP comes together (and even on that film, I am playing wait & see).

 

[Great Mind(s)]

I'm confident in this movie because Mangold looks like he's super serial about this. It looks good so far.

 

[Doc Ock]

This is me, too. I've been on the board for ages, disagreed with a great many people and yet, managed to do so without getting a single infraction ever. But it is the general fate of these threads that when a movie comes out that we're all passionate about, things spiral out of control for a select few that usually end up under the axe. Those that frequent the Bat boards know this all too well.

I stay apart from the Bat boards mainly because I haven't seen TDKR yet and my view of Nolan isn't as high as the majority. I've gotten stomped on before over there....everyone should just be nice!

I also remember that he wouldn't have minded doing a PG-13 release and a Rated-R release too theater wise.

That would be great, I'm quite fond of the unrated home video release though and PG-13 theater release.

That scene immediately reminded me of the scene from the first X-Men film.

Spoiler

Oh...I love that. Wolverine in the snow equals perfect.

I think we can agree that everything in Origins sucked apart from the helicopter scene

I'm in the minority but I loved Origins....its great fun and I'd take it over X3 anyday. Although I think in time I might warm up to X3.

The intros awesome and I still really dig most the casting for that film. Sucks those actors and characters couldnt be in a decent X flick.

The intro and music were definitely the best parts of the film. Plus I liked Xavier's cameo.
